Professional's Choice SMB 3 Sports Medicine Boots - Neoprene Horse Leg Protection 2-Pack with UltraShock Lining White / Small

Give your horse the confidence to push harder and stay sounder with the ultimate 360-degree leg protection designed for high-impact performance. These boots aren't just an accessory; they are a vital safeguard against the concussive forces and hyperextension that can sideline your equine partner.Engineered as a sophisticated hybrid of the legendary SMB II and the VenTECH SMB Elite, the Professionals Choice SMB 3 Boots utilize a premium limestone-based neoprene that is naturally antimicrobial and won't crack or crumble over time. This advanced material, paired with an UltraShock™ lining, creates a breathable yet robust barrier that absorbs significant impact energy while allowing for full, natural range of motion during training or competition.Key Features & Specifications: Proven Shock Absorption: Features an UltraShock™ lining laboratory-proven to absorb and dissipate over 26% of negative energy from hoof impact, shielding the cannon bone and soft tissue. Advanced Suspensory Support: The uniquely designed, slightly longer suspensory strap stretches with every stride to provide critical support and actively help prevent fetlock hyperextension. Limestone-Based Neoprene: Constructed from high-quality, non-petroleum-based neoprene that is naturally antimicrobial, resists water absorption, and maintains its integrity without cracking. Debris-Blocking Lycra Binding: Finished with a stretchable Lycra binding along the top and bottom to create a snug seal that keeps dirt, sand, and abrasive debris from entering the boot. Integrated Cut-Back Design: Features a smart, higher cut-back at the lower front to ensure a seamless, interference-free fit when used in conjunction with Professional’s Choice bell boots. Multi-Discipline Versatility: The ideal choice for Western performance (barrel racing, reining) and English disciplines (jumping, eventing) where high torque and heavy landings are common. Balanced 2-Pack Set: Sold as a pair to ensure balanced support that complements your horse's natural weight distribution and gait.Frequently Asked Questions:Q: How do I ensure I am choosing the right size for my horse?A: For the SMB 3, circumference is king. Measure your horse’s fetlock at its widest point; the boot must wrap fully around the leg with an overlap of 1/2" to 1-1/2". If it doesn't overlap, it is too small; too much overlap means it’s too large.Q: Are these boots suitable for horses with a history of soft tissue injuries?A: Absolutely. The SMB 3 is frequently chosen for injury rehab and prevention because it provides 360-degree protection against "interference" and is scientifically proven to reduce stress on the suspensory system during movement.Item Number/SKU: SMB3S-BLA
